    I'm just saying no Brez adds a 3Bman and 2Bman, unless he trades Mayer.
  2. moonslav59
    Nice try. I'm not the guy who gives Duran (valued at 45) for Paredes (valued at 12.)
  3. moonslav59
    Just my opinion. IMO, Paredes is worth close to 30. Duran, maybe 40.
  4. moonslav59
    We can bet Bichette won't be the 2Bman.
  5. moonslav59
    Did NOT see this coming! $26M x 5 No deferrals. No opt outs. The first 5+ year deal since Yoshida in 2023.
  6. moonslav59
    The Red Sox are going to sign left-hander Ranger Suárez, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. It’s a five-year deal worth $130MM, report

    While I think BTV overvalues Duran (46) and undervalues Paredes (12) I don't think 3 years of Duran is equal to 2 years of Paredes. Yes, we are "desperate" for an infielder, but HOU is desperate for an OF'er. If we trade Duran for Paredes, I'd want 2 from this group: B King, Sousa, Abreu or their catching prospect Janek. (Maybe just one and some decent prospect.)

    I guess you didn't see the 2025 Bregman, Buehler and Chapman signings coming, either.
  9. moonslav59
    Depends how you rate SP'ers. If you go by the idea that a #1 is a top 3 SP'er, and a #2 is 31-60 and so on, then fWAR would score them this way from 2025's numbers: #1 Crochet (4th ranked) #1 Gray (20th) #2 Bello (60th) #5 Oviedo & Harrison NR Sandoval & Crawford We lost a #3 Giolito (65th) and maybe a #3 in Dobbins (#114th in a half season) plus #5s Buehler, Fitts & Houck.

    I think HOU wants an OF'er. They love taking pitchers they think are an Astros tweek away from a CY Young Award, but it's hard to know if they spot one on the Sox roster. If they were high on Campbell, a one-for-one trade works well on BTV. I'd even add a mis level prospect, too, if needed- maybe Phillips or Eyanson.
  11. moonslav59
    Trading for Hoerner and signing Ranger would do it for me.
  12. moonslav59
    The Dodger salary dump was in August 2012.
  13. moonslav59
    I think we're a better team with just a decent addition at 3B (or 2B) but I was hoping for significantly more.
  14. moonslav59
    We can but we want Mayer at 2B or 3B. I'd be fine with Geno & Paredes and then trade Duran, Mayer, Casas and Witherspoon for Skenes. LOL
  15. moonslav59
    Most felt we needed to add more than Chapman and Wilson. Some viewed Hendriks as the most likely closer, if healthy.
  16. moonslav59
    That was implied. Only Wacha and Hill kinda worked out. Gio gave us 1 good year.
  17. moonslav59
    I know I've said this before, but if we had these same 3 pitchers topping our rotation and beginning the year on the IL, the sky would be falling. Yet, most here, including myself, have the Yanks projected with more wins than BOS in 2026.
  18. moonslav59
    The 2013 spending spree barely replaced the money "saved" with the Dodger salary dump trade the year before. Ben's early spending seemed limited. We all wished he'd have signed Scherzer not Pablito and HRam, but instead we got that ugly pair and then spent on Price the next year. That was DD's big splurge moment. He did not really spend much on FAs between Price and JD, but those two were biggies.
  19. moonslav59
    I am just talking 2B.
  20. moonslav59
    I think Romy as the FT 2Bman is a smaller if than trading for Donovan.
  21. moonslav59
    Will you boo him wildly- like a rabid fan?
  22. moonslav59
    He showed some serious decline in 2024, too, so I don't see it as a one year possible blip. Maybe he can rebound, but it would be a rebound. BTW, Buehler wasn't injured either. Neither was Gio, when we signed him. Kluber had pitched a full season before we signed him. Those "hopes for rebounds" were based more in return to glory hopes than come back from injury to prior form hopes. Galen fWAR 4.2 '22> 5.2 '23 (the guy we want to see again)> 2.8 '24> 1.1 '25 xFIP: 3.31>3.49>3.62>4.12 ERA-: 62>79>88>114 No thanks. If we did sign him, I'm not pencilling him in above Gray in the #2 slot. I doubt I'd slot him above Bello either.
  23. moonslav59
    No, MooCCCCeee Betts.
  24. moonslav59
    Exactly. JH was NOT on board with continued high spending. If DD could not convince JH to spend for Kelly's return, let alone Kimbrel's, it was over and done with after 2018's season was over.
  25. moonslav59
    Yes. (Tigers not Cubs, but yes.) I have not heard his name, but I think DET might listen on an offer for their one year 2Bman.
